jocose - humourous

Analysis

Unlike the similar term ‘facetious’, which expresses an inappropriate form of humour or playfulness, ‘jocose’ tends to be used in a positive sense. It suggests something inclusive and suitable.

Example(s)

2. At times I felt that the jocosity of the movie’s script got in the way of telling the story.
